I've made a couple launcher programs for Vista/XP that appear when the Middle Mouse Button is pressed.

The first one is called Mouse Launch, and will appear under the mouse cursor when the middle button is pressed. It is very small (about the size of an icon) but has 9 buttons on it to control most common programs (firefox,explorer,IE,taskmgr,volume,ccleaner,logoff,restart,shutdown). It has hotkeys to maximize, minimize and close windows. Hotkeys also control fast alt-tabbing with the mouse, and hiding/showing windows.

The second one I call KCMenu Vista. It also appears when the middle mouse button is pressed. It has larger buttons and tabs to launch more programs. It will show running tasks and allow easy alt tabbing. Controls Volume and has a boss key built in. Has a clock and Calendar.

Feel free to change/improve them to your liking.

cool script, I love launchers that use the middle mouse button. Im enjoying using it. Thanks!

Does this only work on Vista or XP also?

The only things I'm aware that won't work on XP out of the box are the games (due to the changed path) and the volume control (Vista's sndvol.exe used to be sndvol32.exe on XP). You can easily change the paths for those to make it compatible. I used to use this script on XP and then just updated it when I got a new Vista Laptop (even used it for my shell for awhile, using systray99 as a tray). I'm not sure how long I can hold out without putting linux on this new laptop. I'm a die hard Arch linux guy so it's hard to use a gui all the time

Updated original post to include new "mouse launch" launcher that will appear wherever you middle click. Small and fast to launch common programs, includes hotkeys to maximize, minimize, and close windows.

you could probably check what OS the person is running. if xp use sndvol32 if vista use sndvol.exe

and what ever limitations you had..

Just a suggestion. thanks for sharring your scripts.
